Question
I fell down some stairs exactly a year ago.  Ever since then I've been suffering from Chronic Fatigue even after the injury healed that time. I never had any back problems before this and I went to a chiropractor until it healed that time.  Two months later it started back hurting in the same spot.  I realize that since I am 35 I will probably never fully heal but can you tell me how this injury caused Chronic Fatigue? I was never sick and according to my doctors who have tested me for every other reason for the fatigue I am left with questions on how the lower back there could cause such a horrific condition as Chronic Fatigue.  Thank you.

Answer
Crissy,

There is one facet when it comes to CFS as well as Fibromyalgia and that is traumatic incidents can set CFS and/or Fibromyalgia in motion.

I suggest you get involved with Exercise with Oxygen Therapy as well as see a Chiropractor who practices Brain Based Therapy and functional blood chemistries/lab work.
